Extractions: The permafrost on Svalbard and in Norway is thawing Temperature analyses from boreholes in the permafrost on Svalbard and in the alpine regions in mainland Norway show that the permafrost has warmed up over the last hundred years. Monitoring these changes can both identify societal vulnerabilities, particularly with respect to slope instability, and provide critical evidence of climate change over the next decades. (13/12/02). Pessimistic conclusions from game theory What levels of total abatement can one hope for in a global climate agreement? Some potential answers to this question are provided by game theory. A recent working paper from CICERO contains a critical discussion of two prominent game models that answer the question quite pessimistically. (28/10/02).

Cicero:The Genres Of Rhetoric Access particular ciceronian texts concerned with the deliberative and demonstrative genres. Translated by John F. Tinkler. cicero ON THE GENRES OF RHETORIC http://www.towson.edu/~tinkler/reader/cicero.html

Extractions: of selected Ciceronian texts dealing with the deliberative and demonstrative genres. It is freely available for use by others, but you should acknowledge the translator, if only for your own protection: the translation was made for classroom use, and I make no particular claims for either its adequacy or its elegance. Notes There are three traditional genres of rhetoric, tied to three formal oratorical occasions (or to three types of audience): the judicial genre is the oratory of the law court, "the art of accusing and defending"; the deliberative genre is the oratory of parliamentary and popular politics; and the demonstrative genre is the oratory of ceremonial occasions.

Because the true identity of the author is unknown, the anonymous author is sometimes referred to as [Cicero], or as Pseudo-Cicero, or as Auctor ad Herennium (meaning "the author to Herennium").]

Extractions: Cicero (c. 106-43 B.C.) Marcus Tullius Cicero was born on January 3, 106 BC and was murdered on December 7, 43 BC. His life coincided with the decline and fall of the Roman Republic, and he was an important actor in many of the significant political events of his time (and his writings are now a valuable source of information to us about those events). He was, among other things, an orator, lawyer, politician, and philosopher. Making sense of his writings and understanding his philosophy requires us to keep that in mind. He placed politics above philosophical study; the latter was valuable in its own right but was even more valuable as the means to more effective political action. The only periods of his life in which he wrote philosophical works were the times he was forcibly prevented from taking part in politics Cicero's life During his term as consul (the highest Roman office) in 63 BC he was responsible for unraveling and exposing the conspiracy of Catiline, which aimed at taking over the Roman state by force, and five of the conspirators were put to death without trial on Cicero's orders. Cicero was proud of this too, claiming that he had singlehandedly saved the commonwealth; many of his contemporaries and many later commentators have suggested that he exaggerated the magnitude of his success. But there can be little doubt that Cicero enjoyed widespread popularity at this time - though his policy regarding the Catilinarian conspirators had also made him enemies, and the executions without trial gave them an opening.

Extractions: IT is generally said, that Helvia, the mother of Cicero, was both well-born and lived a fair life; but of his father nothing is reported but in extremes. For whilst some would have him the son of a fuller, and educated in that trade, others carry back the origin of his family to Tullus Attius, an illustrious king of the Volscians, who waged war not without honour against the Romans. However, he who first of that house was surnamed Cicero seems to have been a person worthy to be remembered; since those who succeeded him not only did not reject, but were fond of that name, though vulgarly made a matter of reproach. For the Latins call a vetch Cicer, and a nick or dent at the tip of his nose, which resembled the opening in a vetch

Extractions: On Friendship, or Laelius Introduction [Image: Cicero: Cicero accusing Catiline in the senate. From the fresco by Professor C. Maccari.] The most important orations of the last months of his life were the fourteen "Philippics" delivered against Antony, and the price of this enmity he paid with his life. As a philosopher, Cicero's most important function was to make his countrymen familiar with the main schools of Greek thought. Much of this writing is thus of secondary interest to us in comparison with his originals, but in the fields of religious theory and of the application of philosophy to life he made important first-hand contributions. From these works has been selected the following treatise, On Friendship, which has proved of most permanent and widespread interest to posterity, and which gives a clear impression of the way in which a high-minded Roman thought about some of the main problems of human life. Part I You have often urged me to write something on Friendship, and I quite acknowledged that the subject seemed one worth everybody's investigation, and specially suited to the close intimacy that has existed between you and me. Accordingly I was quite ready to benefit the public at your request.
